GoldCoast Oceanfest 2019

Held during the midsummer weekend in beautiful Croyde Bay, Oceanfest is all about good times, great music, surfing, keeping fit and looking after the environment.

As the event rightly stated on their website; if we could bottle the spirit of a beach festival and pour it out every year against the backdrop of a sun-drenched Atlantic coastline, then the multi-award-winning GoldCoast Oceanfest might be just the brew to choose. Big enough to generate a party atmosphere, but small enough to not be overwhelming, Oceanfest blends a potentially intoxicating, eclectic and laid-back mix of quality music, exhilarating surf, action-packed sports, locally sourced food and family‑friendly fun.

2017 saw Kaiser Chiefs and Scouting for Girls headline, and in 2018 the 20th-anniversary festival saw Chase and Status, Jess Glynne and Razorlight take to the stage alongside a wide range of local and international talent!

What will 2019 hold? We'll have to keep monitoring their website for updates like everyone else, but we're sure it'll be incredible.

Camping opposite the festival is not for everyone. So here at The Royal and Fortescue Hotel, we offer accommodation in the nearest town to Croyde. A short drive along the nearby main road takes you to the festival. Ideal!
